«Last Resorts: The Cost of Tourism in the Caribbean» is the economic essay by Polly Pattullo published by Monthly Review Press in paperback.
It examines the real impact of tourism on the population and landscape of the Caribbean, as well as the ownership structure of the sector. Economic benefits do not deliver what was promised; ecotourism, sex tourism and cruises also fail to alter short-term exploitation. Caribbean culture is reduced to a spectacle.
Second edition, revised and updated, published in 2005 by Monthly Review Press; 274 pages, text in English.
An academic work, especially suitable for university students and readers interested in tourism economics and social criticism.
